GIANTS SIGN ISHAQ WILLIAMS AND MATT SMALLEY…
Though not officially announced, the New York Giants have reportedly signed defensive end/linebacker Ishaq Williams (Notre Dame) and cornerback Matt Smalley (Lafayette), two of the unsigned tryout players who participated in this week’s rookie mini-camp.
Other than a January all-star game, the 6’4”, 253-pound Williams last played football in 2013 after being implicated in an academic dishonesty scandal at Notre Dame. A good athlete, Williams played both defensive end and linebacker in college.
The 5’9”, 184-pound Smalley lacks ideal size but he has good quickness and speed. Smalley has experience returning punts and kickoffs.

There was no media access to the Giants on Saturday.
The news players worked with the strength and conditioning coaches on Sunday.
